this is an IPA Kit that I just took some of the parts of just the grains and malts, ignored some of them (most of the hops) and added some to make an APA. according to my calc this should come out to 63.2 IBU 6 SRM 5.9% ABV OG - 1.059 FG - 1.015.
My question is will the combination of ingredients and the schedule produce a nice hoppy ale that is still drinkable. What I am going for here is like a 2 hearted ale with a bit more character. Only other ingred. I have that I could play with are come Columbus Hop pellets and some more cascade hop pellets. any advise would be welcome
planning to go to the brew store in the morning. haven't decided yet between an irish red or another bock.
I think it's too malty and not enough "hefe" to it.
So do we PM you with the address to send the beer to?:cross:
Mashing a belgian dubbel and making candy sugar right now (6 gallons). Will be making 12 gallons of my house amber ale later with my brew partner.
I am brewing this weekend. Doing my first all grain, an Oktoberfest. The SWMBO is cleaning the entire kitchen, she has no idea what is about to hit!
Tell her to hold off on the full-kitchen clean... she'll get twice as pissed having to do clean it twice in one weekend
